INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Department of Public Works has closed the portion of South Franklin Road between Southeastern and Troy Avenues to replace the bridge over Miller Ditch. Local access to residents and housing additions will be maintained. Franklin Road is expected to fully reopen to traffic in late August.
During the closure, northbound traffic will be diverted using Southeastern Avenue, Northeastern Avenue, Post Road and East Troy Avenue to rejoin with Franklin Road. Southbound traffic should follow East Troy Avenue, Post Road, Northeastern Avenue and Southeastern Avenue.
When complete, the approximately $980,000 superstructure will feature wider travel lanes and a new six-foot sidewalk on the bridge’s west side.
